U.S. marshals this week caught up with Mathew Black, who was facing a charge of criminal sexual penetration of a minor in Farmington, and arrested him in Oklahoma, the U.S. Marshals Service in New Mexico said in a news release.
Black was charged with raping a minor about two years ago when the victim was just 11 years old, the release said.
When the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office learned that Black had probably fled New Mexico, they requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service, who found that Black had recently purchased a truck and left town.
Deputy marshals in New Mexico learned that Black had gone to his mother’s home in Hugo, Okla., and on Monday deputies found Black’s truck at the mother’s home and later located Black and arrested him without incident, the marshals service said.
Black is being held awaiting extradition to New Mexico.
